## Overview

The Michael Kelly Forte Exotic Java Ebony Acoustic Electric Guitar features innovative MK Port Technology for enhanced sound projection, a visually stunning exotic Java Ebony top with satin Okoume back and sides, and discreet Fishman electronics for professional-grade amplification. Designed with a comfortable mahogany neck and modern profile, it blends superior playability with striking aesthetics, perfect for the discerning musician ready to stand out on stage or in the studio.

## Description

When you first lay eyes on the Forte Port Exotic JE, you can not help but notice the striking appearance. That is thanks to the Java Ebony top. The styling is enhanced thanks to a bold satin black finish on the Okoume back and sides and the addition of black binding and hardware. The sonic performance is just as striking as the Forte Port Exotic's look. These woods combine to give you a full-bodied, rich, and deep tone. We further improve that performance via our Port Technology which positions the soundhole off-center and opens up a larger soundboard. Want to plug it in? No problem. The Forte Port Exotic JE includes a complete Fishman electronics system with an under-saddle pickup

Review: Cannot be beat for the price!! - I love this guitar. It's beautiful, feels and sounds very ovation-ish. Very unique features, definitely stands out. Perfect for the couch, the stage, or the campfire. If I had to get picky, the nut is a little grabby, but that's easy. Any beginner would be thrilled, intermediate would be happy, and even a pro would have a lot of fun with this one.
Review: Unworthy of the $350 price, buy a $170 Fender and you'll get better sound, quality, and value. - While the fit and finish (with the exception of the sound holes) are good, the sound is thin and the tuners are poor quality. The sounds holes lack any finish or binding with the rough edges detracting from the overall appearance of an otherwise attractive guitar. The acoustic performance is far below expectation, given a relatively low bar of comparison against a Fender Acoustic Pack guitar, and there you get a gig bag, picks, a strap, and spare strings to boot. The plugged in performance may be better than the acoustic, but given it is an acoustic guitar first and foremost the threshold was not met to go there. The actual guitar received was not current or as described and had the electronics on the outside upper bout, not discreetly located in the front sound hole as expected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow!
*by C***N on August 11, 2019*

I have several acoustics but this one by far is my favorite. The sound is great. Very crisp and clear and easy to play. Looks beautiful hanging on the wall too.
